New Luxury Coffee Bar Opening in Downtown St. Pete

Starting May 17, Hogg Batch coffee is launching their new HB Gold Bar in St. Petersburg's Grand Central District. The weekend-only coffee spot will run on the second floor rooftop at Grand Central Brewhouse.

Open Friday through Sunday, this cool spot serves barrel-aged coffees and specialty drinks. Guests can enjoy bourbon and rum-aged brews, nitro-infused coffee, and cocktail-inspired drinks like the classic espresso martini.

Their signature drink, Jamboree, combines nitro processing with fresh flavors. Sweet strawberry blends with bright citrus and light rum notes. Customers can choose between straight espresso shots or hand-poured cups from rotating bean selections.

This cozy space keeps things minimal to highlight the drinks. Clean design and simple details let coffee take the spotlight. Light bites complement each coffee's taste. The kitchen keeps things small and understated.

By choosing Grand Central District, they've created a spot where people can slow down. No rushed to-go cups here - just room to relax and savor each sip.

Behind the bar, expert baristas blend science with artistry. They use nitrogen to bring out sweet flavors, while wooden barrels add depth through aging. Former whiskey and rum barrels store coffee beans, letting wood and spirit flavors soak in. Each batch picks up rich undertones that come through in your cup.
